Please help w/SX66 and Cing employment

I don't know what happened to my first post so I'm just going to repost the same info in a shorter version.

Please help!!

I may be joining the Cing family--to work. I don't want to play the "this phone sucks--let me exchange for a phone I may not like" game.

So, my question are: Have the Bluetooth and earpiece volume issues been resolved (on the SX66)? I had the xv6600 for VZ and not only did the BT suck, but I couldn't hear ppl on the regular earpiece. Were these even issues for the Cing version?

I know the 650 is EDGE but I read that the BT sucks--no voice dialing, etc. I don't want the candybar PPC phone and I HATE BBs. My other option is the V3, but I'd rather have a mini-comp.

Lastly, I'm not understanding the business phone that Cing gives it's employees. I read that you get a 500 min or a 1000 min plan with no monthly fee. Do they give you unlim internet? Fast forward service? Can I put my wife on the plan? Do they have more than 1000 min plans? Someone please give me the skinny. I just want to know b/c I have contracts with other carriers. I also want to know b/c I don't want to walk in the first day asking about free phones; and I don't want them to hand me a free Nokia when I'd rather pay full retail for something I like.

Thanks yall.

P.S. No, I'm not going to abuse the phone. No, I'm not getting a job so I can get a free/cheaper phone. No, I don't care that much; but I'm a huge phone nerd and I'm just hoping I have a choice in the matter.

P.P.S. Does anyone else love to see someone get a brand new phone? I mean, like, when you're in whatever phone store and you see someone opening/programming a new unit--even if it's a low ender. Is that a disease?

You want a mini-comp...that cancels out the V3. I'd stay away from anything Siemens, I'm not a big fan. I have a Treo 650 and I haven't have any issues (although, I don't use it that much).

As far as the plan goes, you have to be an employee for 90 days before you get issued an ERP line(s). With the 1000 or 500 minute plans you get 5MB Internet Express, 200 SMS and I forgot how many MMS....with a COU you get unlimited everything.

Hey,

Thanks for the response, seltz. If I may ask, what is COU? I can't--for the life of meh--think of what that stands for. I also noticed that I have to learn about the different classes of EDGE, SIM cards, and some other stuff...I'm just talking out-loud.

Yeah, so thank you very much. If you have time to answer the COU question, that is kewl. I assume you are a Cing employee. So, if they call me in the next 5 days--I'd like to say, "Hello, Brother. Let's kick some a$$."

Company Official Use...depends on the type of channel you'll be working for...but it's a dedicated line with unlimited everything. ERP is separate...ie the line(s) is yours to keep...

Lol. I work for an Agent, and yes, it's a very sick disease. What's worse is when you become a full-fledged phone wh0re. I myself have sitting in front of me right now:

1. 6620
2. 3300
3. 6010 (2x)
4. P107
5. x427

And I'm working on getting a 3120/6820, thinking seriously about buying a 6170, and waiting to renew my contract on a 6682. slut slut slut.
